I'm almost certain you will need to pull the dash. :(

The center console gauges should come out as a cluster. They come out of my '80 that way. Speedo and tach also.

yeah, I changed out all my dash lights Speedo and rpms, but I havent done the consle yet. I did have to pull out my whole dash and take off my steering wheel to get it all the way out. pretty annoying if I say so myself, so if anyone is interested, you do have to pull it out. you can reach it from below the dash but you can only change a couple and you have to have inhumanly small hands...which I dont have. :iagree:

You wil have to pull the dash and center cluster to replace all bulbs start on the passenger side and work to the drivers be very carefull with the center cluster it breaks at the thin part very easy and is costly. good luck..

Ps on your model I think you will also have to take the bolts out of the steering coluum at the dash and at the fire wall and let it drop down a bit to get the dash out to where you can work on it.

I see you have already done it that post was not on my screen a min ago hummmm

my next project is the center consle and it looks really annoying as I stated before, I thank all of you for the input...hehehe here goes nothin:)
